China’s Provinces if they were Countries [UPDATED]

[UPDATE] Since The Atlantic’s orignal article, ‘The Economist’ has taken the liberty of publishing it’s own list, with an interactive version that can be found at http://www.economist.com/content/all_parities_china. I’ve included a static map version of The Economist’s data below.

I’ve recently started following ‘The Atlantic’ which has provided some interesting insights and analysis. In the last month or two, quite a few China comparisons have cropped up. As a Chinese person, they have naturally intrigued me.

Here is James Fallows’s comparison of Chinese Provinces and what they’d be like economically as countries. It certainly provides an interesting comparison and provokes some interesting questions.
